General turnigy 85A esc issue "low voltage"

[Santiagonqn]

Hello,
this is my first post. I am having troubles configuring my turnigy 85A esc.
the issue is as follows.

1st test. 100% throttle. enters programming mode. everything seems fine.

2nd test. 100% throttle within first 2 sec, throotle to minimum. This is to set the "throttle range".

3rd test 0% throttle. when I go to 100% and it suddenly cut off.

I have already configured "low voltage cut off type" from "reduce power" to "hard cut off".

I am running a 3s lipo with 12,3v, not low at all, and it keeps cut of a feew seconds after start up.

Please refer to this 2 min video to better understanding. I made it myself

Thank you so much in advance. Hope someone could help me.

Regards,
Santiago

What setting do you have in the esc as far as the size of battery? If the ESC is set for a 6s battery, then even a fully charged 3s will cut off like this. Make sure your ESC is set to a 3s battery.

Also, I moved this thread into the correct location on the forum. Please do not post questions in the lounge, that is for off topic chat only.

Change your LVC to reduce power not hard cut off. This test will tell you if its a voltage problem or something else. Can you leave your voltmeter attached to see if the voltage drops? Maybe the fact that you have no prop on it means the ESC is running to high. Can your test station take the use of a prop just to see if that makes a difference?

Some common causes of this issue...

LVC set to high ( as mentioned above )

Bad solder joints on battery connector ( probably most common cause )

Bad battery which can't hold voltage under load

Pulling too many amps for the size and C rating of the battery
